Regardless of one's previous experience with prayer and meditation, Conscious Contact provides practical methods for developing and applying spirituality in daily living. Dr. Hunter stresses the importance of spirituality in healing from trauma, addiction, and the every day struggles of life. He provides the reader with original prayers that can be used as presented or adjusted to fit one's own beliefs. These prayers are assessable to people of any faith as well as those who have no previous faith tradition. His prayers were written to be used privately as well as in group settings. Whether one has experience with the Twelve Steps or not, these prayers are in a form that they will prove helpful as soon as the reader begins using them. Dr. Hunter understands the dangers of ritualism, where prayer and meditation become stale and lose meaning, therefore his prayers vary so as to keep the reader interested, committed, and excited about using them. The Twelve Steps have been used for decades by millions of people from all types of backgrounds, but there has never been a book like Conscious Contact-it is a unique resource.
